What are the consequences of a broken air conditioner?
Many people think of a broken air conditioner when they think of the fact that it naturally becomes warmer in the house. Therefore, they ask themselves whether it is wise to have the air conditioning repaired immediately or to wait for a time when it is more necessary.
However, a broken airo has much more influence on your living environment than you might think. It is therefore important that you are aware of the consequences it has:
- Dehydration occurs rapidly in triple-digit temperatures. Severe dehydration leads to low blood pressure, a rapid heartbeat and loss of consciousness.
- Muscle cramps result from lack of activity. Restore electrolytes (and balance to your body) when cramping becomes apparent.
- Fainting happens when blood pressure drops due to extreme heat exposure.

However, it should be noted that this act and the grouping of air-conditioning as a non-urgent repair is not fixed.
